The Most Terrifying Ghost Story To Ever Come Out Of Denver Is Truly Chilling

Denver is home to many ghost stories. You've surely read about the home of Unsinkable Molly Brown, which is haunted by Molly's husband. And Cheesman Park is super creepy, with its unmarked graves and tortured souls. There's one place in Denver with a truly sad story - the Lumber Baron Inn. It's said to be haunted by two young girls. Read about their story...

The Lumber Baron Inn was built in 1890.

John Mouat, who made his fortune from his lumber mills, spared no expense when building his 8,500-square foot mansion. Each room contained a different species of wood, including cherry, oak, sycamore and maple - and every architectural detail was carved with the utmost attention to detail.

Sadly, the mansion fell into disrepair.

At one point it was a dirty, decaying tenement building that rented out rooms to derelicts, drug dealers and runaways.

In 1970, tragedy struck.

A young runaway was raped and strangled in her room. Unfortunately, her roommate stumbled upon the killer while he was still there. He shot her dead, and her body was found next to her friend's. The killer was never caught.Some people believe that when an act of violence occurs, the sheer terror of the victims causes them to become stuck in the place where they were murdered. This might certainly be the case at the Lumber Baron Inn.

The mansion was lovingly restored in 1991.

But while it's back to its original glory, the mansion has at least two guest who never leave...the two murdered girls.

Guests and staff often hear footsteps on the staircase and in the hallways upstairs.

The ghost of a young girl is often seen here as well, frightening guests and staff. Paranormal groups claim to have heard and recorded the two young women communicating with them through EVP (electronic voice phenomena).

Some guests take photos during their visit, only to find ghostly specters when they look at the pics later.

Do you see the ghostly image here? This is the Valentine Suite, which is one of the rooms where much of the paranormal activity occurs.

The Inn embraces its haunted past - it even brings a medium in on Halloween!
